Election Day is tomorrow and we have some interesting races heating up. Chili residents will select our Town Supervisor, Town Council and Town Justice. I do not anticipate any surprises in those races, but I will be sure to exercise my privilege to vote for those Isupport. I have always believed that if you want to have a voice in local politics, be sure to cast a vote for the candidate you feel is most aligned with your beliefs. If you do not vote, you do not have the right to complain about the folks who are in office. I know it is cliché, but voting is the most fundamental right in a democratic society.

I think the most competitive race will be the District Attorney race between Bill Taylor and Sandra Doorley. Taylor secured the endorsement of the police union and at least 30 former District Attorneys so he will be tough to beat. Doorley is the top prosecutor in the DA’s office so she is well qualified for the job.

Maggie Brooks is also up for re-election. Maggie’s is virtually unbeatable. Aside from the Robutrad, and Airport nonsense, she has done a great job for our county (just my opinion).

Who will you support tomorrow?

I became interested in journalism back in 1982 when I became a paperboy for the Times Union and the Democrat and Chronicle. After that, I took a couple of journalism and photography classes, which is my true love. Telling stories through images is my passion; I recently became a freelance photographer for the Democrat and Chronicle.

Most of my adult life has been in the public safety sector both as a volunteer firefighter and paramedic. I was raised and still live in Chili and have many friends in the community. I encourage you to contact me with any idea you may have at JohnSpaulding@Gmail.com or @JohnSpaulding on Twitter.

My family history in Wheatland dates back over a century. My wife, kids and I have lived here for 10 years. I'm a member of the Mumford Neighborhood Association, and I've run for Wheatland Town Council twice. My goal for this blog will be improving communication in our community and promoting all the great activities, organizations and businesses that we have in Wheatland. We're very fortunate in Wheatland to have some of the greatest hidden gems in all of Monroe County. If you have any ideas or suggestions for stories, please email me at davistr@hotmail.com.
